Annotated lyrics for The Hold Steady song 'The Weekenders' - There was that whole weird thing with the horses / I think they know exactly what happened / I don't think it needs any explaining / I'm pretty sure I wasn't your first choice / I think I was the last one remaining / I wish we hadn't gone and destroyed it / Cause I was thinkin’ we could pull another weekender / If you’ve still got a little bit of clairvoyance / I remember the metal bar / I remember the reservoir / You could say our paths have crossed before / So if it has to be a secret / Then I guess that I can deal with it / You and I both know it's a negative thing / In the end only the girls know the whole truth / There were a couple pretty crass propositions / There were some bugs in the bars / There was a kid camped out by the coat check / She said the theme of this party is the industrial age / You came in dressed like a train wreck / I remember the OTB, / The five second delivery. / You could say our paths have crossed before / So if it has to be a secret / Then I guess that I can deal with it / God only knows it's not always a positive thing / To see a few seconds into the future / And if you swear to keep it decent / Then yeah, I'll come and see you / But it's not gonna be like in romantic comedies / In the end I bet no one learns a lesson / In the end only the girls know the whole truth / In the end I bet no one learns a lesson /
